word i have heard is it's closer to an average of $750k per annum over the course of the three years, so slightly over $2.25m total value, not the reported $2m over three

    They certainly are looking stronger if you look a little "green"

    Fits our needs to a tee. Carries the Daniher name. Would come at a high cost with high risk, but if Darren Burgess isn't up to the challenge of rehabilitating a gun generational forward, then why did we appoint him? (Aside from getting our current list match fit for the rigors of 2020)

    Isn't the word that, if he were to leave, it was to get out if the footy bubble of Melbourne?

    That being said, if he was available, we'd be mad not to have a go

    he hates the footy bubble of melbourne, but at close to $900k a year next year before he becomes a free agent, i can't see how sydney will be able to get it done with their salary cap squeeze

    With Joe Daniher reported to be possibly on the market and being courted by the Swans, I wonder if there has been any thought given to luring him to the Dees?  He is obviously not without some risk however two years ago, before injury, he played 23 games and kicked 65 goals.

    He has the height to play back-up ruck, is connected to Goodwin from his time at the Bombers and has a family connection to our club through Neil Daniher. 

    Joe could help us structurally by playing deep forward, bringing our smaller forwards into the game and freeing up Tom McDonald to use his tank and roam up the field.

    I have heard it mentioned that he has a good character, is popular amongst his peers and a future leader, so maybe good for us off field as well.

    What do other Demonlanders think? Do I have rocks in my head?

    Injury prone player who struggles to get on the park. He'll fit right in. Where do we sign up?

    Of course a fit JD would help us but Considering what Draft Picks we’d have to give and our crippling shortages in other areas, it is one I would never have even thought of. 

  • Quote

    At the price he'd require (in trade and cash), and with the obvious risks involved, and with his goalkicking accuracy a bit iffy, nope.

    Restricted free agent next year, that might make things interesting if the injury situation starts to look less chronic.

    Every reason to wait and see, no reason to chase now.

    Would rather he stay injured on Essendon's list with a massive contract eating into their cap

    I’m not saying we should get him but am surprised people are so quick to dismiss the idea. 65 goals 39 behinds in 2017 seems fairly accurate kicking to me, and had he kicked that this year it would probably win him the Coleman medal. His trade value is likely to be reduced given he has been out of the game for two years due to injury and the fact he is one year out from free agency. Maybe a late first round or early second round pick would be enough? Lewis retiring and Jones’ pay cut frees up some salary cap.

    Also, outside of Jonathan Patton who seems destined for the Hawks, I am not sure there is any other more attractive and getable key position forward options available this year.

    Would not been opposed to this if the new fitness guru has a chat with him. Very hard to stop on his day. If he is in a position to nominate Melbourne then it could come down to a salary cap dump.

    Are essendon looking at big names or any of our surplus of inside mids (except oliver!)

    Rocks I think. My mate an Essendon supporter would give him to us to ensure our continued misery.

    Knowing the Bombers, they're likely to ask for 10 first round picks for him and not budge an inch.

    That’s become a bit of a classic myth 

    Bombers get their deals done, same as most other clubs

    Seems like he’s definitely on his way to Sydney, which I guess means Papley is definitely on his way to Carltank

    Probably wants to get out of the spotlight that is football mad Melbourne. Sydney known to bring in players' wanting to 'escape' the footy world.

    Will cost them an arm and a leg to get him. Not worth it for an injury riddled player whose groin is just about shot.

    With their interest in Jack Martin, I'll be interested to see how they get both of those deals done with only Pick 8 to play with in terms of first rounders.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
